Viewing and updating firmware from the iLO web interface
The iLO web interface supports the following firmware and software management features:
•
Viewing installed firmware.
•
Viewing installed software.
•
Using the Flash Firmware controls to install firmware on the local managed server.
•
Using the Group Firmware Update feature to install firmware on multiple servers in an iLO Federation
group.
•
Accessing the iLO with integrated Smart Update features. This version of iLO supports the following
actions:
◦
Manage the iLO Repository and add saved components to the installation queue.
◦
View and remove install sets and add them to the installation queue.
Use SUM to configure install sets. For more information, see the SUM documentation.
